I thank Frostysoul for letting me use Devilpaw's history for a storyline.*bows head to Frostysoul*

Silent Pawsteps...

Prologue: Lurking Darkness

A pure white cat was walking in the forest alongside a dark grey cat. A rustle came from a holly bush behind them, and the white cat immediately jumped in the bush, the cat was scratching and biting viciously. The grey cat heard a yowl of pain and the white cat dragged out the body of a small black apprentice. "Foolish Clan cats." the white cat snarled. The grey cat just nodded. "They don't think at all." he agreed. "And that's why we aren't in Clans anymore. We were banished. But that's a good thing, we get to steal and kill, live without the warrior code. Nothing is here to haunt us." the white cat meowed, anger burning deep in his eyes. "Yes, Soulkiller. There's nothing like the fresh taste of cat blood. Speaking of that, why don't we taste some now?" hissed the grey tom. The white she-cat, Soulkiller, nodded. She bared her teeth and took a bite of the dead black apprentice. "Spiritshadow, behind you!" Soulkiller yowled as her head rose from the dead body. The grey tom, Spiritshadow, turned around, eyes wide with shock as a large white cat with jet black stripes and paws glared at him, claws unsheathed. Spiritshadow was about to attack the cat, but she attacked first, giving a yowl of anger before leaping at him. Soulkiller stood there in shock, then attacked the attacking cat. "Moonclaw!" growled Soulkiller, pushing her off Spiritshadow. "Blood-thirsty killers!" Moonclaw snarled, bowling Soulkiller over, then going to attack Spiritshadow. Spiritshadow was pinned down, one strong paw on Spiritshadow's neck, and the other on the ground. "Move and you know what happens." Moonclaw snorted angrily. "No!" Soulkiller yowled, launching herself at Moonclaw. "Don't even try to kill him, you stinking mousebrained piece of fox dung!" Soulkiller yowled loudly. Soulkiller pinned Moonclaw down, and bit down deep into her throat. Moonclaw managed to escape Soulkiller's grasp, and she fled. "Spiritshadow, wake up!" Soulkiller begged, looming over the limp body of Spiritshadow. "You can't die!"
"Soulkiller . . . avenge my death." Spiritshadow whispered quietly. Soulkiller's eyes narrowed sadly. "Tigerstar? Is that you?" asked Spiritshadow, his eyes narrowing to make out the shape. A trickle of blood ran down Spiritshadow's face, and his body started to glow faintly. She was going to the dark forest. "Spiritshadow! No!" Soulkiller yowled. Her eyes narrowed into slits, she clenched her teeth and sheathed and unsheathed her claws. "Moonclaw . . . I am going to kill you!"

Chapter One: Deadly Rain

Devilpaw walked out of the apprentices den. He sighed, and then stretched his hind legs. "Midnightwhisker's out hunting again. He never trains me! I'm asking Duskstar for a new mentor!" he growled quietly. Devilpaw stalked over to the leaders den, angrily. "Duskstar!" he meowed, a faint hiss in his voice. "Come in, Devilpaw." Duskstar replied calmly. Devilpaw came in, and Duskstar obviously saw that he was angry. "I want a new mentor, Midnightwhisker hasn't trained me at all for a whole moon! He's always out hunting when I come out, and when I go hunting, he's at camp, when I get back, he's out hunting again!" Devilpaw snarled in anger. "Calm down, Devilpaw. I'll talk to Midnightwhisker about this, and if it lasts much longer, I'll ban him from hunting without you." Duskstar promised, her eyes closed. Devilpaw bowed his head. "Thank you, Duskstar." he murmured, and backed out of the den. He saw Midnightwhisker returning from hunting, and then saw Duskstar brush in front of him to meet Midnightwhisker, who was about to go out hunting again with a glance at Devilpaw. "Midnightwhisker, Devilpaw tells me you haven't trained him for a whole moon. He's right, and -" Duskstar was interupted by Midnightwhisker. "May I talk to you about this in your den. I have something to tell you for no ears but yours, Duskstar." Midnightwhisker muttered. Devilpaw glared at Midnightwhisker coldly, and his fur began bristling. He snorted, and stalked out of camp angrily. I hate Midnightwhisker, I want to kill him! he thought in rage. "Devilpaw!" a voice behind him called. Devilpaw turned around to see Angelpaw. "What are you doing here?" he growled. "I just thought I'd come to tell you that my mentor is just as busy." Angelpaw mewed. "No! Shadeheart's always ready to take you training!" Devilpaw retorted, wishing he had Shadeheart as a mentor. "Oops, did I say my mentor? I'm sorry. Wolfpaw and Emberpaw's mentors are always busy. Duskstar is always taking care of her Clan, checking on things, announcing Clan meetings and everything, so she's usually too busy to take Wolfpaw training, that makes Wolfpaw very angry. Emberpaw's mentor wakes up early, arranges patrols all day, and somtimes decides to go on them herself, Moonclaw's busy too, and that makes Emberpaw angry."
Devilpaw just stared at his sister. She was so nice, so different from him. He was mean, and got angry easily, and for some reason, when Angelpaw was nice to him when he got angry at her, it made him think he was bad, and useless to the Clan. This also made him think about that. Oh, StarClan, why'd I have to turn out like this? Devilpaw wondered helplessly. But it didn't matter, this way he got what he wanted . . . "Devilpaw?" asked Angelpaw. Just then did Devilpaw realize he wasn't replying to his sister. "Um . . . right, well, I'm going hunting, see you." Devilpaw murmured, racing away from Angelpaw. Then again, she's too nice. How could you ever win a fight if you're nice like that instead of mean . . . like me.
Devilpaw smirked as he ran around the forest. He spotted a mouse scurrying away from him, but it was too slow. He raked the life out of it with his sharp claws and scraped earth over it to collect it later.

Once Devilpaw finished hunting, he had caught three mice, two rabbits, four voles, one shrew and two starlings. He might not have been as good as Huntingpaw, but he loaded up the fresh kill pile enough to get complimented by almost every warrior - and Duskstar and Moonclaw - in EmberClan. He snatched a plump vole from the fresh kill pile and trotted over to the apprentices den to eat it. Wolfpaw, Angelpaw, Autumnpaw, Hawkpaw, Dragonpaw and Emberpaw were already there, with half-eaten pieces of fresh kill. "Hey Devilpaw!" they all greeted. "I've heard you have a good hunt. You're a great hunter, Devilpaw." Wolfpaw complimented. Devilpaw blinked his thanks, and crouched down next to Wolfpaw to eat his vole. He didn't need praise from them, he didn't need praise from anyone. As long as he had power and strength, he would survive forever. At least, that's what Devilpaw thought. Devilpaw soon finished the vole, and he left the apprentices den, but Emberpaw was following him. "Sorry, Devilpaw," Emberpaw snorted. "But Moonclaw said I have to train with you, and I don't want to train with you. But you think I'd disobey my mentor and deputy?"
Devilpaw didn't even object and Emberpaw was saying it like that. He tilted his head slightly, confused. "Whatever, I'll go find Midnightwhisker." he hissed, walking over to the warriors den. "Midnightwhisker!" Devilpaw yowled at the entrance. The black warrior stared at Devilpaw, and Silentwhisker was glaring at him. "Keep it down, Devilpaw, some of us are trying to sleep!" she snarled. "I'm sorry about my apprentice," Midnightwhisker mewed, then turned his head to Devilpaw. "He doesn't know respect."
Devilpaw rolled his eyes. "Emberpaw tells me Moonclaw and you want to take us training together. It's about time you came to train me, but Emberpaw? Sometimes you make the biggest mistakes of all, Midnightwhisker." Devilpaw growled. Midnightwhisker looked rather annoyed, not offended. "Whatever, O great apprentice." Midnightwhisker hissed sarcastically. Devilpaw decided to have fun of this. "You're right for once, I am great. I should be mentoring you instead." Devilpaw retorted, leading the way to Emberpaw and Moonclaw. He rolled his eyes and mewed, "So what's the training about?" he asked. "What would you like to do, hunting or fighting?" asked Moonclaw. Devilpaw was surprised. On the rare occasion when Midnightwhisker trained him, he didn't have a say in what to do. He thought he may as well take advantage of this oppurtinity. "Fighting." he meowed at last. "Emberpaw, do you agree?" asked Moonclaw to her own apprentice. Why couldn't I have Moonclaw as my mentor? She asks me what to do and everything . . . Unlike Midnightwhisker who keeps ordering me around like the rest of the Clan! Devilpaw wanted to yowl in fustration, and while he was thinking, he missed Emberpaw's answer. "Fighting it is then." Moonclaw meowed, leading the way to the training hollow. Devilpaw trotted in front of Moonclaw, and he led the way instead. Once he reached the sandy place, he launched himself on Emberpaw, who wasn't prepared for the attack. She fell to the ground, but got back up and leaped at Devilpaw. But Devilpaw dodged, and pinned Emberpaw down. Emberpaw managed to squirm free of his grasp, and she jumped at Devilpaw again. Devilpaw went to the right, but Emberpaw suspected the dodge, and turned to land on Devilpaw. "Good job, Emberpaw!" Moonclaw called to her apprentice. Devilpaw pushed Emberpaw off of him, and then leaped at her, pinning her down. He placed one powerful paw on her neck as a threat if she tried to break free. "Alright already, I surrender!" Emberpaw hissed. "Just let me go."
Slowly, Devilpaw rose his paw away from Emberpaw's neck. "Good job, Devilpaw. It's time you two were made into warriors." Moonclaw mewed, walking over to them. "But I lost by far!" Emberpaw meowed, shocked. "And that's okay. Devilstar surprised you a lot, you're a great hunter, Emberpaw, Devilpaw's just more of a fighter." Moonclaw mewed. Devilpaw stalked back to camp proudly.

[ƒrФ§тƒire]

o.

okies. but still.

[Shadeheart]

I've decided to have colours for all the cats...

Just so you know, Devilpaw is the main cat of EmberClan, Venomfang of GhostClan, Snowpaw of BlizzardClan and Spiritualstar of SoulClan.

So here are the new colours:

Devilpaw, [shadow=Maroon,left,300]EmberClan[/shadow]
Venomfang, [shadow=Purple,left,300]GhostClan[/shadow]
Snowpaw, [shadow=Blue,left,300]BlizzardClan[/shadow]
Spiritualstar, [shadow=yellow,left,300]SoulClan[/shadow]

Here's the continuation of Chapter One!:

Devilpaw reached camp followed by Emberpaw, Moonclaw and Midnightwhisker. He watched Moonclaw go straight to the leaders den to talk with Duskstar. Devilpaw glanced around the clearing, and at the sight of the fresh-kill pile, he realized how hungry he was. He padded over to the fresh-kill pile and took a shrew. He crouched down where he was to eat it. "Hey Devilpaw!" a voice behind him meowed. Devilpaw turned to see Wolfpaw. "Hi." he murmured, rolling his eyes. He turned around again to finish his shrew."I hear you're going to become a warrior soon. Congratulations!" Wolfpaw mewed, walking over to the fresh-kill pile. She grabbed a starling and crouched beside Devilpaw to eat the bird. "But I'm sorry you had to lose the fight against Emberpaw so easily. She was too tricky, too strong, you were unable to defend, and you couldn't fight back."
Devilpaw's eyes widened at that comment. "What?" he snarled. "I won that fight, Emberpaw was the one who lost easily! I was too tricky, I dodged all her attacks, and I defeated her easily! Who told you that story?"
"Midnightwhisker." Wolfpaw mewed, taking a bite of starling. "That wretched piece of fox dung!" Devilpaw hissed. He finished the shrew and stalked over to the warriors den, fur bristling angrily. "Midnightwhisker!" he called loudly at the entrance. The black warrior went to the entrance and growled, "Be quiet, mousebrain!"
Just then, Dawnflower looked up and glared at Devilpaw. "Keep it down, apprentice!" she hissed, resting her head on her paws again. Devilpaw ignored her, and turned to Midnightwhisker. "So you told Wolfpaw that I was defeated by Emberpaw? Idiotic mousebrained piece of fox dung!" he snarled angrily at the black warrior. "I won that fight easily, you have no right to lie! I'm reporting this to Duskstar, you . . . you kittypet!"
Midnightwhisker looked shocked. "My own apprentice . . . attacking me with words." he murmured, pretending to be sad. Devilpaw rolled his eyes. "My own mentor, lying to offend his apprentice." he hissed, turning around to go to Duskstar's den. "Duskstar!" he mewed at the entrance. "Come in." meowed Duskstar. Devilpaw went in and glared at Duskstar. "My stupid mentor lied! He said I lost a fight with Emberpaw, when I won easily! I hate him! Why couldn't you have given me a different mentor when I asked?" he growled, unsheathing his claws. Just then did he realize Moonclaw was at the side. "It's true, he did win. And Midnightwhisker does keep insulting his own apprentice." she murmured. Duskstar just blinked at Devilpwaw. "I'll talk to Midnightwhisker about that too. He won't get away without punishment." Duskstar meowed calmly. Devilpaw nodded, and backed away out of the den. Devilpaw glanced around, and wondered what to do now. He saw Angelpaw emerge from the entrance, bleeding horribly, scratched up and bruised. "Angelpaw!" he called, running over to his sister. "What happened to you?"
Bu then, more cats were surrounding Angelpaw. Duskstar walked out of her den with Moonclaw at her side. They both raced over to the white apprentice. "Angelpaw!" Devilpaw yowled. "They're coming . . ." Angelpaw muttered, then collapsed. "Iceheart!" Duskstar yowled. The white medicine cat was running out of her den with herbs clamped in hre jaws. Devilpaw backed away for Iceheart to check on Angelpaw. "Please go back to your dens." Iceheart meowed quietly, pressing cobwebs on Angelpaw's worst wounds. Devilpaw turned around slowly and walked back to the apprentices den. Huntingpaw was beside him. "Do you think she'll survive?" asked Huntingpaw. "Of course she'll survive!" Devilpaw snapped, glaring at Huntingpaw. "She's not weak, if that's what you're thinking."
Devilpaw stalked ahead of Huntingpaw and entered the apprentices den. By now Devilpaw was wondering if he believed himself. Would Angelpaw live? Only StarClan could tell. Devilpaw curled up in his nest of dry moss and put his head on his paws. He stared out of the den at the setting sun and darkening sky. Devilpaw closed his eyes slowly, and he soon fell asleep.

Devilpaw woke up and got to his paws. He glanced out of the den and saw that it was almost sunrise. He noticed Emberpaw was already awake, and when he walked out of the den, he saw her talking to Moonclaw. "Hello, Devilpaw!" mewed Shadeheart, walking over to him. "Hi, Shadeheart." Devilpaw mewed quietly. "I'm sorry about Angelpaw, I checked on her this morning. Iceheart says she'll survive, but the wounds will prevent her from being a warrior for now. Once she's healed, she will be a warrior though." Shadeheart muttered. Devilpaw looked deep into Shadeheart's eyes and noticed that Shadeheart was only hoping Angelpaw would be able to be a warrior. After all, it wasn't Shadeheart's choice. It was Duskstar's. It would be horrible for a warrior's apprentice to never be able to become a warrior. Devilpaw nodded. Shadeheart's eyes were clouded with sadness at the memory of the wounded white apprentice. "But Duskstar wants me to hold your assessment while Angelpaw . . . can't."
Devilpaw didn't even want to question why Midnightwhisker wasn't going to hold it for him. Devilpaw just nodded, and walked over to Moonclaw and Emberpaw with Shadeheart following. "Great! You're awake. Now the assessment is about hunting. You will be hunting until moonrise, and I want you to bring back a lot of prey. If you get lucky, you'll be able to prove yourself in fighting if a loner or another Clan cat is here." Moonclaw meowed. "Okay, go! Shadeheart and I will be watching!"
Devilpaw darted into the forest and saw a mouse the second he got out. He pounced quickly, and killed it swiftly. He scraped earth over the dead body of the mouse, and padded through the forest in search of more prey. Devilpaw saw a rabbit soon, and he stalked it stealthily. He pounced on it, and killed it in one swipe. He covered it in dirt, and continued hunting. Devilpaw saw the moon rising and realized that his hunting expedition was almost over. He would catch a bit more prey, then he'd be done.
The moon had risen, and Devilpaw saw Shadeheart emerge from the bushes. "Well done, Devilpaw." Shadeheart commented. "You caught enough prey to last the Clan for a moon!"
Devilpaw blinked his thanks. "Can you help me collect all the prey?" he asked. "Sure, but it'll take a long time to get it all to camp . . ." Shadeheart murmured. Devilpaw nodded. "But you don't want it to become crowfood, do you?" he asked. "Of course not!" Shadeheart replied, scraping earth off of a starling.
It took eight trips to get all the prey back, and the fresh-kill pile looked much bigger now. A lot of cats went to congratulate Devilpaw on his hunting. Devilpaw yawned. "I'm tired." he murmured. "Well, you'd better stay awake. Duskstar is having you're warrior ceremonies now." Shadeheart mewed, pointing her tail at the pure white she-cat emerging from her den. She jumped up onto the Highstone, and called her Clan together. Devilpaw groomed his fur quickly, and went to stand next to Dsuskstar, Emberpaw at the other side. "I, Duskstar, leader of EmberClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down at these two apprentices. They have trained hard in the ways of your noble code, and I commend to you warriors in their turn! Devilpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Duskstar asked. A light drizzle started, and storm clouds appeared, but Devilpaw mewed loud and clearly, "I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name! Devilpaw, from this moment, you will be known as Devilheart!" A loud crack of thunder came, and lighting crashed down on the warriors. Duskstar decided to finish this quickly. "StarClan honors your strength and your nobility and we welcome you as a full warrior of EmberClan." Duskstar rested her muzzle on Devilheart's head, and Devilheart licked her shoulder in respect. Duskstar then turned to Embermist, and the rain and thunder stopped. The storm was gone, just like that. "Emberpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Duskstar asked. "I do." Emberpaw mewed proudly. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name! Emberpaw, from this moment, you will be known as Embermist. StarClan honors your agility and your wisdom and we welcome you as a full warrior of EmberClan!" Duskstar rested her muzzle on Embermist's head, and Embermist licked the Clan leader's shoulder respectfully. "Devilheart! Embermist! Devilheart! Embermist!" the Clan cheered excitedly. Angelpaw limped slowly over to Devilheart. "C-congratulations, D-evilh-heart." she choked sickly. "Angelpaw, are you alright?" Devilheart asked worriedly. "I'm f-fine." Angelpaw stammered, backing away as if Devilheart had become a monsterous predator.

And that is the end of Chapter one! Next chapter features Venomfang!

[Tear]

Great Chapter!

[Shadeheart]

Thank you, Hushpad!

Here's Chapter Two!:

Venomfang glanced around the clearing. "Darkclaw, Shadepaw, Smokecloud, you're on border patrol at the border of EmberClan!" Venomfang shouted to the warriors. They immediately ran out of camp, shivering. Venomfang was evil, everyone feared him. Even Shatteredstar. Shatteredstar would do whatever Venomfang asked, knowing she'd pay the price if she didn't. Venomfang killed many, even some of his own Clan. He almost killed his brother, too.
It was a very dark day. storm clouds covered the sky, but the sun still shone with an effort. Venomfang was patrolling around and he scented SoulClan on their territory. He pounced immediately, hearing a rustle in the bushes. The bushes had a very strong scent of SoulClan, and Venomfang thought SoulClan was there now. He teared away at a pure black cat with green eyes, biting into his neck and tearing up his ears and tail. "Stop it Venomfang!" the black cat had hissed. Venomfang had ignored him, and continued to scratch at the black cat and then Venomfang finally stopped, his eyes widened with terror. "Poisonclaw!" he meowed. Right after, Venomfang blacked out. Poisonclaw hated Venomfang since, but after that, Venomfang fought every cat from different Clans, but always let the black cats go.
Venomfang regretted that, even today. But today when he saw Poisonclaw emerge from the den, Venomfang was urgent to tell Poisonclaw his side of the story. He stormed over to his brother. "Poisonclaw!" Venomfang hissed.

--~--

Very short, but I have to go, so I'll write more when I'm back!

[Tear]

Great half-chapter

[Tigerfur]

I LOVE your story Shadeheart! I hope you write more soon! ;D

[Shadeheart]

"What do you want?" growled Poisonclaw, turning to his brother. "I didn't try to kill you those moons ago." Venomfang spat. "Prove it, mousebrain!" Poisonclaw remarked, lashing his tail from side to side in anger. Venomfang snorted and rolled his eyes. "Well, SoulClan was on our territory that day, and I scented them in the bushes behind me. So I jumped and ripped you apart, not knowing you were you." Venomfang hissed simply. Poisonclaw murmured something coldly and turned his back on Venomfang and began to walk away. Whatever, maybe it's better to have that pile of foxdung hate me. thought Venomfang angrily. "Poisonclaw!" yowled Venomfang loudly. Poisonclaw turned around. "What do you want now, mousebrain? Poisonclaw demanded, his tail lashing once more. "You're going on a hunting patrol." Venomfang hissed. "Make me!" snarled Poisonclaw, his tail lashing harder and his claws sheathing and unsheathing. Venomfang let out a battle cry and leaped at Poisonclaw. He immediately pinned down his brother and placed one powerful paw over Poisonclaw's neck. "Fine, I'll go." Poisonclaw hissed quietly> "Good." Venomfang retorted, getting off of Poisonclaw. Who does Poisonclaw hate most, besides me? wondered Venomfang. Cloudedshadow, because he takes away all of Smokecloud's attention towards him. Venomfang remembered. "The patrol is led by Cloudedshadow." he mewed sternly. Poisonclaw hissed, "And who else is going on the patrol?"
Maybe Smokecloud, so Cloudedshadow could have Poisonclaw feel left out while they forget about him. Yes, Smokecloud!
"Smokecloud." mewed Venomfang boldly. "Alright, I'll go get Smokecloud and Cloudedshadow." Poisonclaw remarked, beginning to go to the warriors den. "Stop." growled Venomfang. Poisonclaw stopped and turned around to glare at Venomfang. "Cloudedshadow!" yowled Venomfang. The white and grey warrior walked over to Venomfang. "Go get Smokecloud, will you?"
Cloudedshadow dipped his head and darted over to the warriors den. "Why'd you do that?" growled Poisonclaw, looking like he already knew the answer. Venomfang didn't reply, and turned around. Cloudedshadow came out of the warriors den followed by Smokecloud.

--~--

I gtg, so I'll type more soon.

[Shadeheart]

Venomfang watched Poisonclaw look miserable. Cloudedshadow led the patrol out of camp with Smokecloud beside him. Poisonclaw followed more slowly. Maybe I should follow them and see what Poisonclaw does . . . There's nothing better to do. Venomfang decided. So he crept out of camp, following the patrol. He hid wherever he could and listened carefully. "Poisonclaw," hissed Cloudedshadow angrily. "Go catch prey over at Venomstones."
"Make me!" Poisonclaw retorted, unsheathing his claws. "I lead this patrol. remember?" Cloudedshadow replied, baring his teeth and Poisonclaw. "Fine." Poisonclaw agreed, smirking. "But we should all hunt in different places. We'll catch more prey that way." Poisonclaw walked over next to Smokecloud. "You can go hunt at Shadow Rocks." he murmured very quietly so Cloudedshaodow couldn't hear. Smokecloud just shrugged and nodded. "You can hunt here, then, Cloudedshadow." Poisonclaw smirked. Cloudedshadow hissed. "I lead this patrol!" he pointed out coldly. "I know Venomfang's behind me. And I know he could rip you apart." Poisonclaw hissed, flicking his tail to the bush Venomfang was hiding in. How did he know I was here? wondered Venomfang, shocked. Venomfang stepped out of the bushes and glared at the patrol. "I don't know how Poisonclaw knew I was there." he snarled angrily. "But I'd love to have your flesh and make you become crowfood."
Cloudedshadow stood there, shocked. "Okay, I'll hunt here." he agreed coldly, rolling his eyes even though he was trembling. "Good." Venomfang replied, and turned to Poisonclaw. "And if you ever use me for your own good, I'll tear you apart and feed you to the birds!" he spat, slashing his brother across the face for a warning. Venomfang turned to go back to camp.
